But, when I first lived with my hubs, I honestly thought the house we lived in (which was part of an old farmhouse in the middle of fields) was definitely haunted.

How do you deal with writer’s block?

For me, it's my brain's way of telling me I need to back off and let the story 'brew' in my mind so I find other things to do. I love cooking and baking so I'll happily take myself off into the kitchen to bake muffins or test a new recipe. I live in a place five minutes from the beach so I'll take the car down, park at the sea front and walk along the cliffs. Sometimes, in the school holidays, my son and I will get up at 4am, have a Maccie D breakfast and drive up to a local lighthouse to take photos of the sunrise and then explore the rockpools. And other times, if my daughter's working and my son's out at the football, hubs and I will go into the city for the day. The main thing, is to just do something completely different with no connection to your writing. Pushing your brain when it needs a break, is a sure fire way of killing your story.

Thanks for the question, and apologies for the late answer, I've only just found this section on goodreads.(less)
